He's a good guy, but he doesn't put enough discipline into the program. Every year they lose good players due to arrests. Even this year they lost a few on defense... They just can't seems to put it all together. And fall short every year... I think this year they have a less than expected year and they let him go.
A lot of Georgia fans feel this way.
The overwhelming majority of Georgia fans love Richt, it'salmost entirely the Wal Mart Georgia fans have him on the hot seat. Some more serious fans may be disappointed that during Richt's tenure that four different SEC teams have won a title and they haven't even played for one, but no way, no how do you even consider firing a coach with his resume.
Averaging just under 10 wins a season
The most division titles in the east since taking over(tied with LSU for most in the conference in that time)
12-1 against Tech, 9-4 against Tennessee, 8-5 against Auburn, 5-8 against Florida
His record against Florida isn't great until you compare it to his two predecessors Donnan(1-4) and Goff(1-6). They've won three straight against the Gators for the first time in 20+ years.
They'll be much improved this year on D with the hire of Pruitt and Todd Gurley may be the best back in the country, IF they can get to the dome at 11-1 they have a great shot at making it to the playoff this year regardless of how the game turns out.
My family is full of Dawgs and I would love to see them win one while my father is still alive, which at 70 and battling lung cancer(fortunately doing well currently) I'm not sure how many football seasons he has left.
